Acton Free Press Wed 1976 Limehouse WI quilt is tops seven Cubs weeding JFtct ess District Pago Eden Mills By Mrs A Benton from a The meetcng was Miss I held at the of Mrs Acton High School Crichton on Thursday one of those who enjoyed a bus tour to Boston Wash ington and other cities in USA for a few days this CHESTER HINNY is an interesting cross be tween a donkey mare and a Shetland pony stal lion He has a pony face and donkey ears a pony tail and donkey mane trots like a pony ana has donkey feet and the noise he makes is bable So we are now Ihe proud parents of a hinny Hive you ever known a ninny Incredible creatures Jessica his donkey mother his father was Shetland but we don mention that and the twoycarold Chester arrived here ten days ago and I still haven t stopped laughing Not at him but tilth turn Chester owns the world the most cheerful opinionated animal I ever known His appearance is unique At first he looks like a donkey gone wrong but second glance reveals the true mixture He has a long pony head with donkey ears a long haired pony but a stand up donkey mane pony body and a donkey neck he possesses the highsttpping pony trot on boxy donkey feet You d have to see him to believe him His voice is a cross between a heehaw and a wlunny il you can imagine that He winds up the sound like a donkey but holds the high note like a soprano opera singer wavering vibrato It s cheering and welcoming how are you Between him and the other two donkeys the place sounds like a fishing wharf Pony adopts them When the two donkey arrived had to go through the routine of introducing them to our old retainers the two mares and our own baby donkey twoyear old Bo lost his mother when he was seven months so t quite sure what he is having been brought up by a horse foster mother When he saw Jessica and tie was as Here were creatures he was unused to but they like him and oh my goodness they sounded like him too It took him a few days togetoverhis boyish shyness but now he has great wrestling matches with Chester is quick to answer Jessie when she brays from the upper corner the pasture The pony Lady Elizabeth came from the same farm as thedonkeys and instantly remembered them what taciturn and unfriendly took the donkeys under her wing protected them from any supremacy rights the big mares might try to inflict Chester genius are very intelligent but seems to have more thin his share of brains The second day after his arrival he knew which wis his stall the barn entering routine which bucket was his how to open his stall door He squeezes through split rail fences and plank gates by insinuating one leg at a time through and oozing himself to the other side like toothpaste If he hasn time for this he lumps pony blood comes in handy There s no good talking to him goes where he wants to go when he wants to He really can set why any one bothers him with such details is obedience He happy and he s not doing any harm he says politely He supposed to
